Macy's Baby Shower

On Saturday September 18 not only did me and Jeff celebrate 16 years of being together, but we celebrated the upcoming arrival of our 1st born with a baby shower. I have dreamed about this shower for so long and it by far exceeded any expectations that I ever had. Everything from the location to the decorations to who all would be there. Everything was perfect. The only regret that I had the whole day was not being able to talk to everyone more than I did. We had to have the shower a few weeks earlier than the "normal" time frame for a baby shower due to the fact that we are busy in October and well living in Houston makes travel in November pretty much out of the question for me. So without further a-due here is your picture over load!

The following 2 pictures are of a gift that I received from 2 of my bff's, Misti and Nicole. It is a cake/knife server that I will get to use for Macy, for many years down the road. The note was typed up and placed on the inside the box. I still can not read it with out crying. =*( I have wanted this baby girl for so long and the pure fact that one day she will be gone absolutely breaks my heart. But I love that I will have this serving set to use until we let her go.... when she's 40! =)

The note!
And consider yourself warned.....You will need a tissue

The serving set!
The knife has Macy Nicole engraved on it.
When she gets married we will have her wedding date engraved on the cake server.
Thank you to each and everyone of you that helped with Macy's shower and for those of you who came to celebrate with us. We love you all and appreciate everything you did for us.
